I know that if you don’t have anything nice to say that it’s better to say nothing at all, but I just can’t hold my tongue in this situation. The design of this version of the Single is so bizarre, I really can’t figure out what Mr. Jacobs was thinking.
The combination of materials here is really the problem. First, there’s the nude leather, which has been textured and sprayed to look something like stone. This might be an interesting effect if the rest of the bag made sense, but it just comes off looking cheap and fake.
Speaking of things that look cheap, the sequins that make up the rest of the bag are terrible. The fluffy, three-dimensional gold and white pattern looks more like an elementary school craft day mishap more than anything else. The puzzle piece-shaped clasp and classic chain and leather strap are both great, but by the time you get around to noticing them, it’s far too late to save this terrible fashion misadventure.
As far as Marc Jacobs bags goes, it is reasonably priced at $995. But considering how unattractive it is, who really cares?
